James McLain Poems

In a box in the closet.
Last night my cat had two kittens.
Easier said than done.
The little-known girl down stairs.
...

I lay out in the open
reading the stars one is winking
it is day light
here where I'm at are you there?
...

Here is where calm I must remain.
Don't forget to use that soul crushing
authoritative psychological shit on me.
Tell me about your father?
...

Some dark day it becomes even whiter
the execution of our souls is all for our knowledge
and as it grows to indifferent
corrections are each Sunday to be remembered best as.
...

Little boys and girls
play all the time.
Something
kept those dreams away.
...

And hand in hand love has made
under the sun I waited.
And in the sand angels were waiting
for you still love me this I heard.
...

Each numb human is humane
and jumbled words our lives remain
I must find a way
to put my thoughts inside your head
...

Talk to me before it comes to pass
Our father trusted me.
Palms held out and open source.
Your shame all other's feel
...

I know that your awake
and hear me not asleep.
Distractions all around him
come for me.
...

Intelligent educated people don't listen to that crap,
We just put up with the disrespect of women and all else
That it will bring.
...
